Those of you who have read my 5 books in Spanish under my pen name Carolina da Silva don’t need an introduction to my wacky, but wise spirit ancestor Doña Carolina. She also plays a key role in my upcoming mystery series by giving me advice, often in the form of cryptic Latino proverbs. These folk sayings provide clues for solving the murders and not coincidentally, help me improve my own body, mind, and spirit. My feisty ancestor is always bugging me to give her web space to wax on some of her favorite topics. In fact, she’s buzzing around my head right now in her infamous hummingbird form. So I’ve decided to set up her very own advice column here where from time-to-time, she’ll offer you some of her enchanting pearls of wisdom. |
